The 63-year-old performer, who has hinted that he will release two albums in 2014, will top the bill during a new strand of the Hard Rock Calling event, which takes place on Clapham Common from Saturday 28 June to Sunday 29 June. Live Nation’s Vice President of Promotions, Toby Leighton-Pope commented: "We’re thrilled to welcome Stevie Wonder to Calling Festival. His music is timeless and this show will be one of the highlights of the summer! Richie Sambora joins the Saturday bill which is looking fantastic, it’s going to be an unforgettable event."

Also headlining the event are Aerosmith, who will perform at the festival on Saturday. It will be the rock band's first London performance in four years. "I’ve been so involved writing my autobiography I did not realise how long it had been since we have played across the big pond," guitarist Joe Perry said in a statement. "It's been far too long since we have performed in the UK. We can't wait to bring back some of the classics as well as some of the new songs from Music from Another Dimension. We miss our UK fans. See you soon."

Over 20 names are due to be announced in the coming months, with acts such as Thunder, Walking Papers and Joe Bonamassa so far confirmed to appear.
